How to slow down ERM progress?

Current thinking on ERM's. Doctors think that EMR's are often caused by PVD's (Posterior vitreous detachment) because there are strands connecting the vitreous with the retina and those pull on the retina when the vitreous detaches. The retina forms scar tissue from clear glia nerve tissue cells in response to the pulling. The retina can also tear or detach during this process. PVD's are thought to be a result of the aging process and usually only occur in persons over 50, more commonly in persons over 70. ERMs that don't cause vision issues are not uncommon in this age group and do not need medical intervention.

@margieb58 Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It sounds like you have gone through a lot. You didn't sound upset, but you have every right to be upset.
I have a practice of going out to the nature to sing about my bad feelings for more than 1 year. It not only heals my past traumas, regulate my emotion, and now the mother nature has never been so brilliantly beautiful in my eyes.
I know some doctors are willing to think about difficult/different cases, and some doctors just want to play by the book. Sometimes patients get together and share what they learn from their doctors, and they start to think like a doctor. I regret that I listened to my doctor's discouraging "Nothing helps", and didn't do anything about my cholesterol.
